Prime Fitness

Prime Fitness is a boutique functional-training gym on Fenyang Lu in Xuhui, a short walk from Huaihai Zhong Lu and the Donghu Lu corner. Open since 2012, it focuses on one-to-one personal training with English-speaking coaches, plus small-group HIIT and boot-camp classes built around natural movement patterns. It suits people who want focused coaching rather than a big-box gym floor. Personal-training sessions run roughly 400 to 600 RMB each, so it sits at the premium end; ask about class packs and a trial session before you commit, and phone ahead to check the current timetable.
